About Pedro A.

Strategy executive and trusted advisor in AI‑driven, large‑scale industrial transformation. Frontline engineer turned strategy partner (BCG & Oliver Wyman). I have led some of the largest transformations in asset‑heavy sectors—scaling $20B+ portfolios across energy and industrial value chains and directing multi‑country teams in the thousands, partnering with global corporations, investors, and industrial players to design and implement AI‑driven solutions that address complex operations and future‑proof organizations. I convert board ambition into operating results by wiring together strategy, operating models, data/AI platforms, and the human system so products actually ship, scale, and stick. Representative outcomes: remote operating centers leveraging real‑time analytics and modern operating models as the nerve center of $2B+ operations, delivering ~20% capex reduction,~10% emissions reduction, and ~30% field de‑manning through data‑driven decisions and centralized execution. Philosophy: bring breakthrough innovation to traditional sectors—and make it count by transforming how work gets done and advancing a more sustainable future. I partner with CEOs/CTOs and product/data leaders to align strategy, operating models, architecture, and incentives—the full stack required to operationalize change in complex, asset‑heavy enterprises. Focus areas Strategy & transformation: enterprise & BU operating models • value roadmaps • governance & portfolio steering • change, incentives, capability building Operational excellence: throughput & reliability • maintenance & integrity • real‑time/IOC operations • capital projects & supply chain • continuous improvement Digital & AI: AI/GenAI product strategy • data foundations & governance • ROI & control frameworks • platform roadmaps & adoption Asset‑heavy domains: oil & gas • petrochemicals • mining • new energies • manufacturing Board/Advisory Non‑executive board member at Quantrue Analytics, actively involved in bespoke AI initiatives that modernize traditional industries.
